If you followed the daily machinations, crises, doings and wrong-doings of the Trump White House in the New York Times, then you surely read Maggie Haberman’s articles. The Pulitzer Prize winning journalist covered Trump and his associates relentlessly, and in her new book, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America, she explores the phenomenon of Trump, his relationships that shaped his life and way of thinking. She covers the women and wives to fixers and business associates- transactional relationships that benefited whatever it was that he pursued at that moment. Haberman posits that Trump’s motivations have been ruled by what’s in it for him, for the long term and in the short run. It is clear that the Trump Era is not over.
In conversation with Todd Purdum. Todd Purdum has covered numerous beats for the New York Times, including the White House. He was a senior writer for Politico, and a staff writer at The Atlantic. He’s also an author, and teaches journalism at USC’s Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism.
Interesting interview! Learned a lot of details about Trump's life, as well as Haberman's impressions, her insight into Trump's motivations, etc. Thank you!
The guy interviewing Haberman is fantastic. Really good questions
Maggie Haberman is amazing. A wonderful person and an excellent writer and superb book writer..
The whole time trump was in office he acted like the federal government was a company he bought.
Interesting that in discussing his children, there was no mention of the ghost child - Tiffany
America was sick enough to elect Trump then; it's even sicker now after 4 years of Trump.
Maggie KNOWS Trump.
The specific anger Donnie picked up, and had the nerve to address, was racial anger. We had the audacity to elect and re-elect a Bi-racial president, which opened the door.
I offered this theory to friends back in 2015 as he gained popularity, and other candidates were dropping out - Donnie was initially only running half-heartedly. He didn't expect to win. So he had nothing to lose by saying the quiet part out loud. And other candidates were slapping themselves upside the head when they realized not only could they get away with that, but it would be an acceptable and winning strategy.
The reason MAGAtism is so strong now is that the GQP has learned that lesson, and many more. They learned how to sneak through all the guardrails he broke, how to break more of them, that he wasn't held accountable for his crimes and they could now dare those in charge to hold them accountable, too.
